Thank you for standing up and showing up at the “Hands Off” rally yesterday. In a moment where so many are choosing silence or business as usual, your presence sent a powerful message: that our democratic institutions, constitutional boundaries, and the rule of law are worth defending—loudly and publicly. It matters deeply to see elected officials physically present in the fight, not just issuing statements from afar. Your decision to join the rally demonstrated the kind of leadership this moment demands: visible, courageous, and unafraid to take a stand. Please continue to speak out and push your colleagues—on both sides of the aisle—to act with the same urgency. Many of us are watching and organizing, and we are grateful to know that at least some of our representatives are in this fight with us. Thank you again. Let’s keep going.
